**: Okay, Julie. Everyone has an opinion about Rachel's exit on the hamster wheel. What do you make of her going out in that way?**

**JULIE CHEN MOONVES**: It was shocking. Rachel was so good at competitions when she played 14-plus years ago. But this season it was her social game that was king. She is a competitor and used to winning games. I don't think she could resist volunteering to do the maze. It's not in her DNA to NOT compete.

Remember she is the opposite of a floater. So for that, I applaud her playing hard and getting out there. Perhaps she does best when she had to prove others wrong. But remember, she was picked by her own allies who believed she could succeed.  So I don't think she felt the kind of pressure she had in seasons 12 and 13 that drove her to so many wins. She is still a legend — more so now that ever. She showed she knows how to play the social aspect of this game as well this season. Brava!

**What was your reaction to Will having that super emotional moment during his pre-vote speech?**

It touched my heart. It shows how in this house you cannot help but be bonded to your housemates. He's said time and time again many of the houseguests have had little in common with him and he didn't care for some of the mind-numbing detailed conversations. But at the end of the day, he loved them all and they loved him. It was touching to witness. ****

**Keanu is inevitable when it comes to competitions. Even with him being the number one target in the house, do you think he can continue his run all the way to finale night?**

Yes, I do, because as we have seen before, underdogs who don't have the season-long support of their housemates can win. We saw that with Taylor, Rachel, and Josh. Keanu certainly has the résumé with so many wins that he can argue he has earned it.

**Finally, Vince is playing a very risky game convincing both Lauren and Morgan they are his number ones. That may not end well if he ever has to finally choose a side. Is the payoff of being protected with allies in the game worth the risk of sending a very potentially angry person to the jury?**

Vince is too clever to get blood on his hands. He will have someone else do the dirty work and play innocent. He is good at telling people what they want to hear and groveling for forgiveness, acting like he had no idea he did anything wrong.
